I can understand not liking the "Godfather" movies. They're movies that are *completely* dependent on the fact that they have great characters and dialogue. The story/plot is really pushed to the background.

You have to appreciate them like paintings, kind of. Everybody gets something different out of them, and if you are expecting to have a story "told" to you, you'll be disappointed.

All three about small town boys who become interstellar players. Great stuff. In the '80's any kid felt they might suddenly become the epicenter of alien diplomacy, that was just something that might happen to you as part of suburban American life. No longer.

Quoted for being God dammned right!

Being an 80s kid, that is exactly what I felt and what burned itself into my subconscience. And with e.g. Indiana Jones, Leathal Weapon, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, Star Trek Wrath of muthafuckin Kahn, Terminator it is one of the main reasons why the 80s was indeed the greatest movie decade evar.

(I only point it out because I typed it that way originally when I wrote my post. and my one/won was a WFT moment. You could type whole things in this little font and most nobody would probably pay attention. Lets see. Four score and seven years ago..no. Oh a blue car!)
